nopj - - . — 1 ' ■ — THE DEMOCRAT. BYH. BAY WILLIAM*. USS:". : ' ■■ 't—’Chkms; |1.50 a Year in Advaj«3. VB<U TUR, INDIANA, Tmvmday, Jan. 20, 1881. — Cvmback’s friends say his surrender was cowardly in the extreme. —Thos. C. Platt will succeed Sen*to Kernan from New York. Platt was Conkling’s candidate. —The State Senator from Madison eounty has no difficulty in convincing the people that his opponent should have been elected. He introduced a bill last Thursday to exclude newspaper reporters from the floor of the Senate. Had such a bill been introduced by some such renegade nonentity as I’avk Baker but little would be thought of it ; but coming, as it does, from a member whom it was supposed knew black from white makes one almost shudder when he contemplates the fact that legislative work at Indianapolis is yet in its infancy. —Th# Gaaette, Fort Wayne, is all torn up because colored teachers are refused license to teach in the city of Baltimore, Md. The Gazette thinks it a crime for which Democrats will have to answer. Now down in the saintlycity of Richmond, Indiana, where Democracy and crime are regarded as synonymous terms, colored children are not even allowed in the same schoolroom with whiteuhildren. If the Gazette wants to be fair let it get a copy of the order issued by Richmond s board of education and n copy of the order issued by the Baltimore board and publish them juxtaposition. The fact is fast dawning upon the minds of the people that the colored man who depends upon Republican love lor his race to see him safe through life is going to get badly left. When the famous Gen. John Morgan made his raid through Indiana and Ohio, many valuables, such as money, jewelry, diamonds, etc., were buried iu the ground for safe keeping, but cue would have naturally supposed that all such valuables remained in the ground but a short time after the daring general had passed. Such, however, is not the case. Last Thursday a Mr. John Conrad, who resides near Corydon, Ind., disinterred SBOO in coin and SI2OO in United States j paper money and deposited it in the ' First National Bank of New Albany. ! It was buried in the ground iu an iron j 1 kettle by Mr. CoNTRAD, and there it t has remained all these years, only be- . ing examined now and then to see if • it was damaging. Mr. Conrad has been over-cautions, however, for had he j put his money on interest he would now have $5,400 instead of $2,000, The Wells County Timet, publish- i »d at Bluffton, has changed hands, our esteemed frieud and professional brother, J. G. smith, having disposed of the office to a Mr. Wji. P. McMa- ; hon, a young man, Mr. Smith says, of energy, and an enthusiastic Greeubacker. The very fact that the new editor is a young man of energy should commend him to the favorable cousidera- i tion of the trafficing public, and we 1 would be doing injustice to our own , conscience did we not wish him sue- i cess in a pecuniary point of view, but the very fact that he is an enthusias- ; tie Greenbacker deprives us the pleasure of wishing him political success. And why? Simply because we haven’t ( the remotest idea what the result would—be were the ,n ’ *'* a successful. Tt>'- aeofsUs ’ t 0 become change ’ ae y effect “° Jesiro a . ssrttj.n„ m the present financial poliLLby of the government, but they fail to t ' tell us wherein their policy would im- < prove on the existing one: hence it ■ would be base flattery for a conscientious person to wish them politieal sue- . cess. And again, they effect to be di- 1 ametrically opposed to the policies of the Republican party, yet we find them in the house of congress allied with the Republican side of that assembly in opposition to almost every measure < emanating from the opposite or Dem- 1 ecraliu side. That being trtft: can any , fair-minded individual presume for a , moment that the so-called Greenback '• party is not a political auxiliary in sym- ‘ pathy with the Republican party ? That ( is the belief of the Democratic party, , and with such convictions imagine what must be its contempt for a party i of less than three hundred thousand 1 men asking that over four millions surrender their political convictions and g unite with them. They also ask us n to vote for Mr. James Weaver for 1 president, and in so doing they again insult the intelligence of the country. 0 Mr. W eaver has proven himself a| o bloviating enthusiast, wild and irration- " al, with more regard for a fine phys- “ ique and pugilistic attainments than he has for brains and st i teamanship. We wish Bro. McMahon financial success, t c Kerne Items. By U.csar. S. Simisou spent Sunday with friends , at Buena Vista. J. P. Rigg“ was in town last week in the interest of life insurance.

Editor Democrat. —Ntr: In your last issue you give utterance to the remark, ‘That many are curious to know what the present legislature will do with the temperance question. In order that your readers may know what the friends of temperance are doing, and what they expect of the legislature, will you please give place to the enclosed circular in your next issue ? and oblige, yours truly, M. Louise Holloway. Rooms of the State Central Temperance Committee of the Grau I Femperance Council, Grand hlvUd, Indianapolis, January 12. 1881. The State centeral temperance committee desires to mak- the following statements to the friends of temperance : The State executive committee of the Grand Temperance Council met in this city last week, and organized for permanent work in the interest of temperance legislation. The headquarters of the committee have been established for the presen at parlor No. 31, Grand Hotel, in chai e of a duly appointed and respon ‘ e committee, some of whom will be found present during the entire session of the Legislature, calling to their assistance, as occasion may require, other duly appointed committeemen f: >tu the different counties of the Sta ■. A line of legislative tion has been slowly and carefully u tured during the past year, by du c sultation with the various author; < ■ : representative temperance bodies of tit- >ia:.-. and received its final indorse..: nt at the an nual State meeting of Grand Council last November. A . tmiLimry t-on-etitutional amendment . t.l of the Legislature. A local option bill has been prepare the en.ictmcnt of which will be asked, until the voice of the people e»u be hod upon the question of said constitutional amendment. The committee-room at the Grand Hotel is supplied with ail the best books and documents c-xtant, in relation to legislation up ju the liquor traffic, by able and distinguish d men, togeth er with the latest edit; a of the various liquor laws of the Unit .d States. All persons interested in the question are invited to call and examine these document# at their pleasure. Over 12,000 , petitions to the L. islature are in circulation through"at the State to sustain the measure a-’-.cd, to be signed only by voters. Kil ty-two count;'. s reported last week ah ~ :to M. ; Shiel, of Seymour, State < . ..... m ihig secretary of the council, and nearly all the other counties ha re previously reported. All these are circulating the petition more or less actively, and they are being readily signed by men of all parties, regardless of party. In inaugurating this canvass the Grand femperauce Council has carefully avoided making it a party u.. .mure, and we here make a protest a_i inst having it made a party measure tn th'- Legislature. We ask legislators to consider' this question as men id i epresenta-i fives of the people, n ■ is Republicans. Democfate or Nationals. The representatives ot every O'. . ,:y who sustains eur measures, it matte; - not of what party he may be, will receive the indorsement of the teuij rance tion of this State. As nearly as can I stimated from reports to the cone ling s.eretary there are upwards of ) t.;-tice organizat’ons in th. Niwa ] K leading teiupeiuugft color that - | aggregate^-' mses report an • 111.000 " upon their! pledge or membership r '.’s. Ali <-th-| cr counties but one report organiza- i tions, but fail to give 'he number of' members. The temperance ; ■ -tilled under j the Grand Council •: .. ■. dly in claiming to be able t ■ .•umiu iml a ma- ■ jority of the votes oi ■_ .State- when-1 ever the question ctm.es before the j people on its merits, d tinct from par- ' ty issues. Failure in tlieir measures i before the Legislature ..in only he because the moral sentin. nt ‘ '.'io State. ■■ which they know to be with them, fails to make itself apparimt in their sup-1 port. An efficient State . nirerand finan- ; cial agent has been appointed, besides ' numerous efficient county arganizers, j all of whom will be c -ntinued permanently, or others appointed from time to time. The temperar.ee organizations are resolute and d... rmined. They have never been so well organized and united, and none of the vicisitudes which have hitherto ■ ertu .ed their work can demoralize tb .-ir forces again. ' Their organization i.- > instantly growing and strengthenti; . T1 ' are s' permanently and s -.irely < ganiz'dl now as any of the p< I ?al parties, and | expect to press temj . c " gislatimi steadily and persist Ay. They ask nothing but an opportunity to get the voice of the people upon the question, separate from other quesions, and they ask it in the name of the moral and cluimian sentiment of Indiana, pledging continued active work ia the eduction of public senti- j ment to sustain, in ■ very successive I Legislature, any of their measures! which may be enacted. They do not desiia to antagonize themselves to any party, nor t.> antagonize parties toward ca ll other in their interest. We repeat, they ask legislalation of men and reprosentwtives—not I of partisans. On behalf of the Grand Temperance I Council of Indiana. I H. W.
